Modernising IT Operations
Citrix helps IT modernise the business with the existing infrastructure and assets, instead of just maintaining the complex mix of information systems that most enterprises have built up over time. With Citrix solutions, IT can streamline operations and reduce costs in even the most complex environments. In fact, the more diverse the environment, the greater the value-add of Citrix solutions.
Citrix application delivery solutions enable IT teams to maximise existing assets, allowing the business to introduce new services faster, improve customer service and control risk. For example, from one location, IT can deliver new applications without touching a single desktop and deliver legacy applications over the Web without rewriting a single line of code.
With a Citrix solution, IT can:
- Help the business move fast by reducing the time and cost of delivering Windows and desktop applications and speeding Web application delivery by up to 15 times
- Gain new value that is measurable, immediate and full of opportunity, with lower total cost of ownership for new servers, higher return on investment for installed servers and increased productivity for everyone
- Deliver virtual desktops on demand with a virtual desktop delivery system that delivers the best Windows desktop experience to any office worker and reduces the costs and provisioning challenges of desktop refreshes and new desktops for office workers
- Deliver desktop applications without worrying about application and system conflicts and without lowering security standards by streaming applications to a protected isolation environment instead of installing them on the end-user’s device
- Consolidate resource requirements across the organisation with a consolidated management console for Windows applications
- Extend the life of PCs and other client devices by running applications on a centralised server instead of on the end-user’s device
- Provide users with the efficiency of single logon for Windows applications with secure logons delivered via the Single Sign-On feature
- Reduce network complexity and operational costs for Web applications with an ideal replacement for aging load balancers and other traffic management devices
- Free server resources for more online users and enhanced Web application response times by offloading the computer-intensive processes of SSL connection setup and bulk encryption from Web servers
- Leverage a single application security point for immediate user productivity and a single control point for rapid IT security response
- Know what is happening at the users’ end by measuring performance and availability from the users’ perspective across organisational and geographic boundaries, to ensure that all IT resources are operating at peak efficiency
- Accelerate application delivery over any WAN, anywhere, from any datacenter by optimising the broadband connection between the distant location or branch office and the enterprise datacenter
- Accelerate user migrations of desktops and operating systems
- Quickly distribute patches for Windows applications to hundreds of servers and thousands of clients with applications located on centralised servers managed directly by the IT department so each patch only has to be installed once
- Easily update operating systems and Windows applications, including problematic applications, by enabling all clients, wherever they might be located, to benefit from the latest updated software every time they log on
- Improve IT services for the user by offering everyone the ability to work from anywhere
